Glenn's fine Quart of Liquor Case In The Supreme Court Raleigh, May IT. Murray Al len, who is giving the supreme test to the Crier act. will to morrow morning ask the highest court in the state to hear oral ar gument in the action of (ieorge Clenn compelling the Southern l\x press company to deliver Mr. Clenn a long delayed gallon of li uor. Mr. Allen has lost at every step thus far. Police Justice W. C. Harris decided first that the express company was well within its rights when it declined to irrigate Mr. Clenn oftener than the law allowed. Mr. Allen took the case to court but the judge wasn't anxious to hear the talk because the I 'ni ted States Supreme court was hearing a case of similar nature. But the plaintiff wanted to have an opinion and Judge Daniels de cided that the express company was right to deliver to Mr. Clenn more than a quart a fortnight. The court had long since pass ed the Raleigh district and there was no chance to get a brief up. Mr. Alien does not know whether he will win his right to carry the ease up or not. lie hopes to get at the of the class and come in when the twentieth district has been heard. And he hopes to have a decision befor the fede ral court settles it It is believed that the Supreme court of the Cnited States will hand down an opinion by the middle of June and that it wil settle the constitutionality of th« recent statute. Put there is m certainly about that. It is great !y desired that the state's su prime exurt give opinion.

A long-distance telephone call from one of the farmers in the :ounty who reported that his .•attlo were dying, reached a :ounty agent in Colorado one Saturday evening at o'clock. Krom the description of the lymptoms the agent decided hat the disease was blacking and mmediateiy called up the Colora lo State Agricultural College for advice. Then he arranged by telephone to have a local deputy i State veterinarian make the 25-, mile automobile trip to the farm with him. In just two hours' from the time the call was re ceived the veterinarian and the county agent were at work vac cinating calves and yearlings at-' tacked by blacking. The work had to be done by the dim light of two lanterns. After vaccinat ing the first herd they went to a neighboring farm, aroused the farmer out of bed, vaccinated his small herd, and then called on several neighboring farmers, warning them, and suggesting precautionary measures. After working all night, they returned homo at dawn. On trie same day another trip was made to the same community, taking more vaccine. Within four days from the time he was notified, the county agent, assisted by the veterinarian had vaccinated 1215 head of cattle, Whole Family Dependent Mr. F.

THE DAN BURY REPORTER Anti-Typhoid Immunization Campaigns to be Held in Progressive Counties This Summer. Announcement has just been! made to the effect that in a few j counties in the State where the beat assurance of co-operation can be secured the State Board of Health will conduct extensive anti-typhoid treatment campaigns beginning .June 1">. They will continue for six weeks in about five or six counties and then move oti to live or six othercoun ties. Definite announcement as, to the counties to receive the, benefit of such campaigns will not be made for several weeks. Since it is manifestly impossible ,1.1 cover mure than a few coun ties in this \\a> with the limited funds at the disposal of the Hoard, ,mlv those counties that give the ' best assurance of hearty co-opera tion in this matter will be con sidered. The plan is to hold a free pub lic anti-typhoid treatment dispen sary in about six diil'erent parts jf the county and visit each one if these points once a week in turn. Three treatments against :yphoid are required to immunize, i'hese treatments given a week ipart. While the treatment will be iiven absolutelv free, a small hate of the i \pense for such a ■ampaign will be borne by tlie •ounty. and the remainder by the stale. The value of such an of er will be readily seen when it s remembered that the usual •hargo for such treatment or im nuni/.ation ranges from Toe. to 5.1 n(. The protection from such treat ment is truly great. In tb.e army md navy where it is compulsory, vphoid has been practically viped out. there being only about me case of typhoid now where lefore there was a hundred. Fur hermore, it is absolutely safe, .nd practically painless. It pro luces no open sore. It is expected that literally: housands of people in counties' vhere free dispensaries are held vi 11 avail themselves of this sim )le treatment with the result', hat hundreds of cases and deaths rom typhoid will be prevented lot onlv this year but for several ears to come. I'ersons interested in having uch campaigns in their county an secure full information by writing the State Uoard of lealth. Vho Supports North Carolina I F.very person private and cor >orate who owns any unexempt-1 ■d property of any sort whatso-1 ver: and all male ftJls over 211 ears of age and under fifty, who ire not exempted by reason of joverty or infirmity. All such property pays forty leven and two-thirds cents on the lundred dollars worth of pro perty, and all such polls pay >1.4-1 each to support the state, some properties, businesses, and persons also pay other taxes: jut nearly three-fifths of our total state revenue in P.M'J came from the general property tax and polls. Manifestly the general property tax and the poll tax are bums of taxation intended to lay the bur- Jen of state support equally on the largest number of shoulders. These are the forms of taxation that reach the largest number of taxpayers. Whooping Cough. "When my daughter had whooping cough she coughed so hard at one time that she had hemorrhage of the lungs. I was terribly alarmed about her condi tion. Seeing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy so highly recom mended, I got her a bottle and it relieved the cough at once.
